Hi there Nancy
Thanks for the swift reply - it turned out to be old Time Machine lookups that Dropbox was still registering.

Hey Mutual Friends, welcome to our Community.
Can you also send me a screenshot of the “Can't sync, not enough free disc space” error you’re receiving?
Does restarting your computer make any difference to the hard drive usage you see or not really?
Let me know what you find.
